you do not need the R33 e-brake if you're doing the front swap only I believe. If you are doing rears and want a functioning e-brake then yes, you need the R33 e-brake cables on the S14. You need to remove the splash guards because the Z32 rotors are larger than stock S14. BMC, look yourself.

Just change the fronts that way you could still use your bmc, think about it is it worth the time, money, and trouble for just dual pistons in the rear or just to say you have z32 rear brakes? Also might as well purchase steel braided lines as well, no purpose in putting them on to take them back off to reinstall them again.

splash guard? are you guys reffering to the baffle plates? ive heard people call them heat shields but never splash guards.
anyways, you dont have to remove it. what i did was cut off the upper folded area so you still have a backing. can be done easily with an air saw or even a dremel.

not for the front no but to have the rear rotors you need the rear assembly from the 300zx the splash guards because they house the e-brake assembly

i noticed that with s-chassis that were automatic, dont really need the bmc upgrade. bmc is not quite bigger but works as well as Z32's IMO.

I have always been manual, non abs, but I did swap the booster from my front clip, It's the larger one with the step.
